I’m not going to lie, I have no earthly idea why I keep buying Collector’s editions of game, but for some reason, certain games will always garner that extra $50 bucks from me. And this time, Assassin’s Creed: Unity has gotten my money. And I’ll go piece by piece.

First, there is a small, music box, that if it was handcrafted, it would be amazing. The faux wood has on it the emblazoned Arno and Unity’s specific Assassin’s emblem. Inside, the interworking are tight and well put together. Although the grinder doesn’t allow for compiling the pressure in order to play the melody of the music box without constant tuning. But maybe mine is broken. And that moves me onto the melody. It’s a haunting, almost melodic tune that is played. The tune is the remixed version of the Subject Matter music.

The music from the Collector’s edition is a joy to listen, as it will instantly kick off a random memory of the game, if you payed attention to the music throughout the game. It’s nothing on par with the music of Destiny, that I could sit and listen to, without ever playing the game, but the music of Assassin’s Creed: Unity is definitely worth the listen, even if its French. The next to last piece of the Collector’s edition is the magnificent art book. The art of Assassin’s Creed never fails to impress, and this batch is more of the same stellar craft and penmanship! Giving each character, although small, a page to themselves, and then the various locations, and villains, and random redshirt guys… There are really redshirt guys who you can kill, and they wear read.

The coup de gras of the Collector’s Edition, is the 16” statue of Arno, that comes with French flag with the Assassin’s emblem blazoned on it, to fly behind Arno in his defiant stance on a Gargoyle. Arno is also armed with a French basket Rapier. The detail of the statue is penpoint, and on mine there are no visible blemishes, or spots of imperfections. Compared to the harlequin jack-in-the-box of Assassin’s Creed II: Brotherhood, I enjoy this statue. The last piece, which I haven’t played yet, both single player, “Killed by Science” and “The Chemical Revolution.” For the MSRP of $129.99 it’s not a bad price for a Collector’s Edition in my opinion.
